NOTED PLUNGER
TO REGAIN RICHES
Newt Bennington. Once Fa
miliar Turf Figure. Released
From Sanitarium.
XE'V YORK, July s.—Like a man
from the grave. W. Newton Benning
ton. once possessor of a fortune of
$1 500.000, amassed largely through
.nectacular turf plunges, has reap
ncared in this city. His fortune has
been practically swept away. His
health, however, has been restored to
him after a long stage of mental and
physical illness lasting five years, dur
ing which he was confined in several
eani’ariums and hospitals.
However, I thank God that I am
alive." he said yesterday to a reporter.
•■I needed a long rest and 1 have had
It. Now I weigh more than 170 pounds,
and I'm going to plunge badk into
business again. You know that I al
ways knew a lot about real estate
(though people spoke of me mostly
aB a turf celebrity).
“I have $40,000 worth of real estate
left of my fortune. It is distributed in
this state and in New Jersey. With
this money I expect to begin my finan
cial rehabilitation. You’ll hear them
speak again of ’Million Dollar Ben
nington’ in a year or two.
Bennington in appearance is still the
"tall plunger” whose nod to a book
maker during the heyday of his turf
career meant a five-figure bet on Bel
dame, DeMund or another of the great
horses that raced under his colors.
New York Looks Good to Him.
New York looks as good to me as
a spring to a desert goat,” continued
the man who Insists that he is still
"Lucky” Bennington. “I have known
nothing of it practically during the
past five years.
■q went to Dr. Combes' sanitarium in
Flushing during the summer of 1907, as
you may remember. This .was follow
ing a number of reverses and after a
nervous breakdown
When I left Dr. Combes' I took up
my tangled business affairs again. A
few weeks later came the accident
which came within h gambler's ace of
costing me my life. I went to Cobalt.
Canada, with friends to inspect property
there in which we had an interest.
While walking alone I fell over a cliff
which fell away a sheer three hundred
feet. Fortunately. 1 was caught in
some tangled bushes which grew out
of the side of the cliff, and I escaped
with my life.
"I was so badly hurt, however, that
1 entered Dr. Bull’s sanitarium when I
returned to New York. After leaving
Dr. Bull's 1 decided to give my shat
tered nerves another ehancd'to heal by
re-entering Dr. Combes' sanitarium. In
June. 1910. 1 left Dr. Combes’ place in
a hack. I thought that we were going
to the Erie railroad, where I was to
take a train for my home in Cornwall.
For some strange reason the hackman
drove tn the Ontario and Western rail
road station and T found myself aboard
a train for Middletown. N. Y.
Won $500,000 in Four Years.
'T haven't the slightest idea who gave
the hackman the order to drive to the
O. & W. station. I am sure it was not
Dr. Combes or my wife.
"Anyway, when 1 got to Middletown
I found that i was consigned to the
State Homoeopathic hospital there. I
have been there for the past two years.
1 had a private room, was well cared
for end for a time was Satisfied be
cause f knew that I needed a gbod, long
rest."
Newt Bennington, six years ago. was
one of the most conspicuous figures in
the*\Vail Street district and on the turf.
In his heyday he was a chum of Gates,
Drake. Davy Johnson and others whose
bets on a single race often totaled
? 190,000.
Bennington's career on the turf was
most spectacular. With Fred Bellew
h? won $500,000 in stake winnings in
one period of four years. He con
'rolied the services of Frank O’Neill,
"no was for seasons one of the most
successful of Jockeys. This combina
*ion was dazzling in its pecuniary re
'uhs. Bennington won a fortune in
purst-s with the great colt DeMund be
fore he sold him for $40,000 to Paul J.
Rainey.
Bennington married Bessie Taylor, a

In the care of the baby, mothers
should look well to its cleanliness.
Unless the family physician should
otherwise order it, the baby should
have a cleansing bath every day. But
great care is demanded here, as in

GOOD ROADS PLEA
Legislators. Before Convention
of Carriers. Urge Creation of
Highway Commission.
Ex-Governor John M. Slaton and
John N. Holder, speaker of the house
of representatives, in addresses to the
Rural Letter Carriers association to
day, warmly urged the good roads
movement and the creation of a state
highway commission to have charge
of all roads and bridges. At the close
of the addresses a resolution indorsing
the measures was adopted by the asso
ciation.
During his address, Mr. Slaton said:
“There is a bill before the general as
sembly to make all roads on which
there are rural routes public roads, and
it should by all means become a law.
"Such roads would tend to make the
efficiency of the rural carriers, greater
and would end in the advancement of
the people at large.
“We have a great deal to thank our
letter carriers for. They are doing much
towards bringing the city and country
in closer touch.”
Mr. Holden emphasized the need of
a highway commission.
Another session of the convention be
gins this afternoon. Officers for the
coming year will be elected, resolutions
may be adopted, the next meeting place
will be selected and other business mat
ters will be considered.

The funeral services of W. E. Carnes,
a business man of Jonesboro, who died

widow and several children.

practical. If there are any draughts
in the room, a screen should be placed
around the baby to protect it from
cold. The face and head should first
be bathed, care being used as to the
ears. The baby should be taken out
of the bath as quickly as possible, and
the little body thoroughly dried. You
must not rub too hard, however, as
the tender tkir. will chafe.
Following this, dust a little talcum
powder in the folds of the neck, be
hind the ears, under the arms, and in
the groin. Baby should then be dress
ed quickly, the clothes being put on
over the feet. It is important that the
mouth and nostrils both be cleaned.
If the bath is given at a regular hour
before feeding, the baby will sleep two
or three hours, and this will lay the
foundation for a regular nap.
The same principles apply in giving
the baby a lap bath —by this I mean
bathing the baby on your lap without
putting it in a tub. Os course, the lap
bath is essential in the cleansing of in
fants. Use a soft cloth, and expose
only that part of the. body that is be
ing bathed. Dry the body as you go.

then exposing another part ready for

baby should never be exposed at anv
one time during the b*th, as the
chances of cold are so great.

We could tell you an interesting story about
getting such fresh, smart styles at these prices; but
the transaction is now complete, the dresses are

the one point, and that is—-their actual worth
is nearly twice as much as the prices they
bear for the half day.

to 6 years. The material is percale, in
light shades, with little stripes, rings, dots,
figures and checks. They have the long

seem to agree on as most becoming to
the little folk and they are trimmed with
bands and folds in blending and contrast*
ing shades.
$ 1 .19 For Children’s $2.00 Dresses, sizes six
